Your Coffee Is Telling You Something. Listen.
from Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and Other Stuff Hosted by Oaks, the coffee guy
Send us Fan Mail Your coffee is telling you something, and most of the time it's only asking about a couple of things. Let's be real: we don't change that much. Temperature, grind size, maybe the brewer if you've got a few. I saw a post on Reddit from someone who loved a coffee at a café and couldn't get it back at home, so I ran my own version with a Kenyan. Day one at 200°F on a V60 was sharp, with a lingering grapefruit taste I don't like. A coarser grind made it juicier. A lower temperature with the grind in between made it jammier and better, and moving it to the Kalita Wave made it better still. I also tell the story of a dark roast where a 45 second to a minute bloom reminded me of a trick I'd known and forgotten, and I walk through the short list I actually work with: brewer, water, filter, temperature, grind. Past that, the bloom timings, the swirls, the Melodrip and the boosters start to cloud it. So what are you tasting, and do you like it? What's your coffee telling you to change?
